During the last Maker Faire in Rome, RS Components, Massimo Banzi and Siemens presented a new Industrial IoT platform called SIMATIC IOT2020.
The SIMATIC IOT2020 will help makers and young developers in the transition from simple IoT projects and prototypes to entry-level industrial applications.
The compatibility with the Arduino IDE and various Arduino shields allows makers to scale up their existing projects and start getting familiar with industrial standards and communications protocols.
The SIMATIC IOT2020 is dedicated to young developers and designers familiar with Embedded Computer Systems and high-level programming languages (such as Python, Json and C++) looking for industrial level hardware and communication protocols.
The SIMATIC IOT2020 gives them the ability to place their code directly into a certified product and then securely install it in industrial or residential environments
